US Enquires For Northwest India's 'Over-The-Horizon' Capability For Afghanistan

The so called "over-the-horizon" capability means maintaining the ability to deter or destroy would-be terrorist plotters from far longer range.
A powerful American lawmaker has sought to explore the possibility of over-the-horizon capabilities in northwest India for counter terrorism capabilities in Afghanistan, which is now being ruled by the Taliban.
The Biden Administration, in response to specific questions raised by the lawmaker during a Congressional hearing on Monday, has preferred not to make specific comments on this issue publicly.
"Generally, Congressman, we're deeply engaged with India across the board. With regard, though, to any specifics about over the rise in capabilities and the plans that we put in place and will continue to put in place, I'd rather take that up in a different setting," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a Congressional hearing.
Blinken was responding to a specific question from Republican Congressman Mark Green.
